1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

introductionHyper-CVAD (hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin and dexamethasone) has become a popular regimen for adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). We assessed the efficacy and tolerability of hyper-CVAD in the treatment of adult ALL. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed ALL patients aged 18 or above receiving the hyper-CVAD regimen. We assessed complete remission rate and overall survival, as well as hepatitis B carrier rate and hepatitis flare due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation.

resultsFifty-two patients were treated with the hyper-CVAD regimen. The median age at diagnosis was 42 years; 27% of patients were Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome positive. The complete remission (CR) rate was 90.4% after the first cycle of chemotherapy. The induction mortality rate was 1.9%. Three patients required two cycles of hyper-CVAD to achieve CR. The median overall survival was 39.6 months and the 5-year overall survival was 50%. Age over 30 years and white blood cell count of more than 30 × 10

conclusionsHyper-CVAD is feasible and tolerable with a good CR rate in the treatment of adult ALL patients. It is an option for the treatment of ALL. Antiviral prophylaxis should be considered in ALL patients with HBV infection to reduce the risk of HBV reactivation.
